We know he's been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons.
Dick Cheney

We must be prepared to face our responsibilities and be willing to use force if necessary.

The issue is that [Saddam] has chemical weapons.
Dick Cheney
Image
We now have irrefutable evidence that [Saddam] has once again set up and reconstituted his program to take uranium, to enrich it to sufficiently high grade, so that it will function as the base material as a nuclear weapon. And there's no doubt about the fact that the level of effort has escalated in recent months.

We've never made the case, or argued the case, that somehow Osama Bin Laden was directly involved in 9/11. That evidence has never been forthcoming.

Dick Cheney
Image
I want to avoid personal attacks, ... I promise not to make fun of your singing.
Dick Cheney

Another argument holds that opposing Saddam Hussein would cause even greater troubles in that part of the world, and interfere with the larger war against terror. I believe the opposite is true.
Dick Cheney

With respect to the question of relationships, my general view is that freedom means freedom for everyone. People...ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to.
Dick Cheney

I - obviously, I'm not a big fan of President Obama. I think he's been one of our weakest presidents. I just fundamentally disagree with him philosophically.
Dick Cheney
Image
I do find that the mainstream media oftentimes is what I would consider off base or has a bias.
Dick Cheney
Image
Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many.
Dick Cheney
Image
I think I was able to survive five heart attacks because I never postponed going to the hospital when something didn't feel right.
